	Axolotls: The Fascinating Mexican Axolotl and the Tiger Salamander
		Axolotls of various colours occur in captivity, including grey, shades of brown, leucistic (white with fl eyes), golden albino, white albino, as well as other varieties, such as the melanoid (a near-fl animal).
		Fortunately, due to the importance of the Axolotl in scientific research, it is unheard of for them to be taken from the wild because of the huge numbers bred in captivity each year.
		The Axolotl is a fascinating creature for a number of reasons, including its grotesque appearance, its ability to regenerate, and primarily the fact that it exhibits the phenomenon known as neoteny.

		In the case of the Axolotl, it is entirely genetic.
		The Axolotl was first studied at the Jardin des Plantes in Paris in the 1860s.
		Axolotl translates directly as "water-dog," from atl meaning "water" and xolotl meaning "dog," although it is also thought that the name is related to the god of death and deformation, Xolotl.

	Axolotl - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		It is generally admitted that the axolotls which were kept alive in Europe and were particularly abundant between 1870 and 1880 are all the descendants of a stock bred in Paris and distributed chiefly by dealers, originally, we believe, by the late P. Carbonnier.
		The original axolotls, from the vicinity of Mexico City, it is believed, arrived at the Jardin d'Acclimatation, Paris, late in 1863.
		So numerous were the axolotls that the Paris Museum was able to distribute to other institutions, as well as to dealers and private individuals, over a thousand examples, which found their way to all parts of Europe, and numberless specimens have been kept in England from 1866 to the present day.

	Axolotl
		The Axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) is an aquatic salamander.
		It is noted for its appearance and its demonstration of neoteny, remaining in its aquatic larval form and not undergoing metamorphosis to an adult stage, even reaching sexual maturity in the larval stage.
		A fully grown Axolotl, at age 18-24 months, ranges in length from 150-450 mm, although a size close to 230 mm is most common and greater than 300 mm is rare.

		However, if axolotls are in deep water for long, they will keep their gills for the remainder of their lives, or until they move to shallow water for a long period of time.
		Axolotls are important in medical and scientific research because of their unique regenerative qualities as well as their neotenic characteristics.

		The axolotl is a neotenic salamander, one that retains its larval form with gills, and usually living in the water all of its life.
		Axolotls are neotonous, meaning they can live and breed in what is really a larval form, more or less an immature state.
		Axolotls kept in well-aerated tanks may lose their feathery gills since the air needed for survival can be obtained directly through the skin of the animal.

	Axolotl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) is a large Mexican salamander noted for its demonstration of neoteny, remaining in its aquatic larval form even as a sexually mature adult and not undergoing metamorphosis into a terrestrial form.
		Also, axolotls have cousins often referred to as "mud puppies" that appear similar and are found throughout Mexico and in many places in the southern United States.
		Unfortunately for the axolotl, Lake Chalco no longer exists as it was drained by humans to avoid periodic flooding, and Lake Xochimilco remains a diminished glimpse of its former self, existing mainly as canals.

	Choosing a Mexican Axolotl
		The axolotl is a fully aquatic, Mexican representative of the mole salamander clan that has long been bred in captivity for scientific research.
		Axolotls, known by the scientific name Ambystoma maculata, are entirely aquatic, but periodically rise to the water surface to gulp a breath of atmospheric air.
		Axolotls are voracious salamanders that consume all manner of smaller pond-dwelling creatures, including smaller examples of their own kind.

		In nature, the axolotl is found only in an aquatic or damp land environment.

		The axolotl is an extreme example of neoteny, meaning that it becomes sexually mature and is able to reproduce in its aquatic larval form.

		Axolotl larvae never all grow at the same rate, so when it is time to divide them up, be sure to put similarly sized animals together.
		Axolotl eggs are enclosed in a clear jelly coat that protects them from physical injury and bacterial infection.
		Axolotls stressed by poor husbandry, adverse environmental conditions, or experimental procedures are vulnerable to infection by opportunistic bacterial pathogens.

		Axolotl, you see, is one of literally hundreds, possibly thousands, of super-obscure bands and collectives from all over mother Gaia.
		Axolotl’s preliminary results from this new fusion of the acoustic and the digital can be heard on the 2003 compilation Space Is No Place: NYC Noise From the Underground and the duo’s 2004 self-titled debut, both released on the New York-based imprint Psych-o-Path Records.
		Overall, Axolotl’s first full-length CD is a pretty expansive and far-out affair even though its palette of tones and frequencies is relatively narrow and the production quality just a little too uniformly digital.

		In extremely rare cases, an axolotl will progress to maturity and emerge from the water, but by and large, they are content to stay on the bottom of Xochimilco’s lakes and canals.
		Close relatives of the tiger salamander, axolotls can be quite large, reaching up to a foot (30 centimeters) in length, although the average size is closer to half that.
		Axolotls are long-lived, surviving up to 15 years on a diet of mollusks, worms, insect larva, crustaceans, and some fish.

	The Axolotl - Aztecs and axolotls
		Like all species belonging to the amphibian group called salamanders, the axolotl lays its eggs in fresh water and these hatch as larvae that obtain oxygen from the water using gills, develop four legs, and feed on small plants and animals.
		Unlike its cousins however, the axolotl does not undergo the change from an aquatic to an air breathing life (metamorphosis).
		The axolotl was used by the Aztecs in ceremonies, as well as being consumed as food and medicine.

		While a small tank (3-5 gallons) may be fine for an axolotl when it's young (less than 8 months), an adult axolotl should have a lot of room to move around.
		Axolotls are more mostly nocturnal; they do not like a lot of sunlight, and should have a place to hide when it gets too bright.
		Axolotls are very messy, though, and you need to aid the bacteria with adequate filtration and aeration.

	The Axolotl FAQ
		Most metamorphosed axolotls I've heard of and seen are probably too slow- the crickets would probably end up accidentally drowning themselves in the deep-end (they're not that bright) long before the axolotl got around to stalking them.
		An axolotl's metabolism is proportional to the temperature of the water it lives in.
		Axolotls spend a lot of time near the water's surface when their gills aren't able to take in enough oxygen from the water.
